The Handbag Cake

Had a great time this week making up a handbag cake. My brief was pastel pink, and as little carving as possible to maximise servings. I added the brown for the leather look on the bag, and embossed the recipient's name on the silver clasp. I then added some flowers and scrolls to soften the look, as the bag seemed a bit too 'solid'. I screwed a centre dowel onto the cake drum because the cake was being picked up by my client, and I wanted to make sure the cake was more than secure.

The cake is chocolate and vanilla buttercream. All in all, a lovely cake!

The Number One Cake

My brief was to make a number one shaped cake, with two turtles on it, and match the colour scheme. The picture of the paper plate was sent by my lovely client and I decided to use the design elements in the picture apart from the colours. I think the cake has turned out beautifully and all the elements  work together. I really loved the overall look of the cake!

Halloween!!

I had a blast creating this halloween cake recently. I've been dying to make a cake with a minion in it and finally managed to do it! I used a battery operated tea light and placed it under the couldron. I covered it in fondant so it wouldn't touch the cake and just took it out before slicing. The minion and couldron were made of rice krispie treats and covered in ganache. they weighed a ton! The fondant is homemade and came out really well, I think I'll make it again. Happy halloween everyone x :)
